' In the drawings, 1 represents a case having a bottom and side and end walls with an interior of a dimension to receive the registering devices, and, as shown, the end 2 of this case is thickened or strengthened to receive the effects of the return of the upper main pull. A face-plate, 3. is provided to fit the case, which plate, as shown, has a raised or struck-up portion, (1., in which is formed a sight-opening, i, for the observation of the total-register and a sight-opening, 5, forobserving the trip-register, and with slots 6 for the passage of akey for operating the slide or covering for the sight-opening 4B. As shown, the sight-opcnin l is formed by a depression, I), to receive a glass, (1, and a matting, c, with cross-bars f, and the sight-opening 5 is formed by a depression, 0, to receive a glass, g, and a matting, 71, with a cross-bar, 1:; but the faceplate and the sight-openings therein can be formed in any suitable manner.

The side walls of the case project to form a portion, 7.:, Fig. 30, which enters grooves j, formed in the face-plate 3, Figs. 27, 28, and 31, and the face-plate when in position passes beneath the lip Z of the upper end, 2, and at its other end has a projecting portion or lip,

m, to abut against the botton end wall of the case when the faceplate is closed, Figs. 3 and i.

The end plate, 2, has screw-threaded thereinto a bushing, 7, which bushing, as shown, is held in place by a jam-nut, )1, locked by a screw, 0, Fig. 2, against turning. The bushing 7 forms a guide and bearing for a stem, 8, to which stem is secured, by a plug, 1), and a set-screw, q, a pull-cord, 9, running through the car, and, as shown, the stem Shas ahead, 7', for contact with the end of the bushing 7 to limit the inward movement of the stem 8. A pull or cross bar, 10, is secured to theinner end of the stem 8 in any firm manner, and this bar at one end has an arm, 11, and at the other end an arm, 12, which arms extend downward alongside of the registering mechanism, as shown in Fig. 2, and each arm has secured thereto a spring, 13, the arm end of each spring having an eye or loop to enter a slot in the end of the arm and be there secured by a pin, 14, and eachspring at the other end is secured by a pin, 15, to a stud, 16, on the end wall of the case, the stud having a slot to receive the end loop of the 'sprin g, through which loop the pin passes, and

these pins 14 and 15 can have an eye or head to abut against the inside of the face-plate to hold the pins securely in place.

Each arm 11 and 12 at its lower end has a pin, 17, which'tapers in both directions from the center, as shown in Fig. 33,'to allow a freedom of movement that will prevent any cramping or binding of the armsin use. Each pin 17 is screw-threaded at one end to enter a sliding block, 18, the inner corners of which are grooved to form a bearing-face,.19, as shown in Figs. 10 and 33, and these bearingfaces 19 fit against round tubes 20 and 21, which tubes form the track for the sliding block to work on, and, as shown, a third tube, 22, is provided for strength. Three of these tubes are provided on each side, and each tube at each end is secured into a post, 23. The middle tube, 21,as shown, Fig. 6, is secured by set-screws, and all of the posts can be secured to the ends of all the tubes by such set-screws or in any other suitablemanner.

The track or frame for the register-chains is formed of a series of plates, 2-l, each having an inner flange, 25, and an outer liange, 26, Figs. and 3 to form between them a pathway of travel. for the pivot-pins of the chain link, and the frame, as a whole, is formed by setting the required number of these plates back to back, as shown in Figs. 5 and. (l, and securing them to a top and a bottom tube, 28, as shown in Figs. 3, 2, 5, (l, and 32, and the outer flange, 26, of one plate, when the two plates are togethcnis cutaway at one end to leave an opening, 27, for the location and operation of the stop-fingers, as shown in Fig. 2.

The units-chain 29, teus-chain'SU, hundreds-chain 3,1, and thousands-chain 32 of the total-register and the units-chain 32) and tenschain 34 of the trip-register are each made of ten links, each link havingamuneral thereon, the numerals running from Zero to nine, both inclusive, and each link is secured to its adjoining link by a pivot-pin, 35, each end of which projects beyond the link to enter the guide or track way between the flanges and 26, Figs. 3,5, (i, l0, and 16,tofurnish the means for supporting and guiding the respective chains, and, as shown, the plates 2+ are each cut away to leave an cpen center, and at each end of the opening each plate is formed with a curve, *,to furnislrthe track for the travel of the chain at each end. (See Fig. 32.)

The units, tens, and hundreds chains 25'), 30, and 31 each have the cipher-link left ca-mless, which I will hereinafter term blank, meaning thereby that the link referred to has no cam. The remaining links are provided with a cam, 36, Figs. 5 and 6, and, as shown, the chain 32 is formed of all blank links. chain 33 has on the inner face of the links having the numerals O, l, 2, 3, 5, (5, 7, and 9 a single cam, 36, and the chain-link having the numeral 4 thereon has an additional cam, 37, making a double cam for this link, and the link with the numeral 8 thereon is blank, and in addition to the single cam on thelink with the numeral 9 the front face of such linkc'arries the pin 102 for moving the canceler back. The chain 3% of the trip-register hasthelinks with the numerals 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, and ,9 left blank 011 their inner faces, and the link with the numeral 1 provided with a single cam, 36, and the link with the numeral 9 on its front face has a pin for moving back the canceler of this chain. The cams 36 for the chains 29, 30, and 31 are on the inner face of the re spective links.

The chains 21), 30, ii and 32 are advanced one link at a time, as required, by the action of the pawls 3:38, 39, 40, and 41, Figs. 5 and 10, the pawl 38 advancing the chain 29 with each pull one link, and when the tenth pull is had the chain 29 and the chain will each be advanced one link by the action of the pawls 3S and 39, and when the tens-chain has made a complete revolution the three chains 29, 30, and 31 will be advanced each one link by the action of their respective pawls 38, 39, and 40, and so on for the succeeding chains.

just described, and so on for each count of apawl 39 is held non-acting, except at the completion of a revolution of the chain 29, by the end of the pawl resting on the cams 36 of the links of the chain until the blank link of such chain comes beneath the end of. the pawl 30, allowing it to drop and advance the chain 230 one link with the advance of the blank link of the chain 20, and at the completion of such advance the pawl 39 again rides on the cams 36 of the chain 29, and the pawl i0 is held out of engagement by resting on the cam 30 of the chain 30 until such chain is brought to a position for its blank link to be l. eneath the pawl it), which would occur with the presentation of the number 90 by the units and tens chains 29 and 30, so that with the next advance of the chain 29 the chain 31 would be advanced by the pawl 40 if no means l were provided for holding this pawl out of l action while the blank link of the chain 30 is 1 beneath its end, and this is done by the ear 1 41 of the pawl 40, which projects over and rests upon the pawl 3.9,which pawl is held out of action by the cams 36 of the chain 29 until the blank space or link of such chain comes 1 into position for the pawl 39 to drop, which j allows the pawl. 40 to also drop, Fig. 5, so that l with the next advance all three pawls will act l and advance the chains 29, 30, and 31 simultaneously one link, and with such advance the 1 pawls 39 and 10 will ride, respectively, upon l the cams 36 of the chains 29 and 30 until another complete revolution of the chain 30 is had, bringing the blank link of the chain 30 beneath the pawl 40, when the pawl 10 will be held up for one revolution of the unitsehain by the ear is and the riding of the I pawl 39 on the cams 36 of the units-chain, as

hundred. The pawl 11 for the chain 39 will be held out of engagement by the action of the cam 30 ot' the chain 31 until the blank link of the chain 31 is below the end of the pawl, at which time the pawl 41 will be held on t of engagement by the car it for such pawl resting on the pawl 40, and as this pawl is held out of engagement partly by the car 44: and 1 the pawl 39 and partly by the cams 36 of the chain 30 during the period that the blank link of the chain 31 is beneath the pawl 41, such pawl cannot drop until the blanks of the chains 20, 30, and 3] are in line, allowing the pawls 30, i0, and 41 to drop and advance the chains '30, 30, and Ill simultaneously one link, showil'ig the number 1,000.

, The pawl 38 is always acting to advance the chain 29 one link at a time. with each operation of the main pull 10, and during the advance the pawl 39 is held up by the cams 36 of the chain until the blank link of the chain 29 comes beneath the pawl 30, when both pawls 3S and 39 act and advance the chains 29 and simultaneously one link, and the pawl 10 is non-acting until the blank link of the chain 30 is beneath it by riding 011 t the cams 36 of the other links of the chain l 30,-a-nd.when the blank link is beneath the pawl 10 such pawl is held out of engagement until the proper time for the advance of the chain 81 by the car 44, pawl 39, and cams 36 of the chain 2!), and the pawl 41 is held out of engagement with the chain 32 by riding on the cams 230 of the chain ill until the blank link of the chain 231 is beneath it, when it is held out of engagement by the action of its car it, the pawl 40, cams 30 of chain 30, ear ll of pawl 10, pawl 30, and cams 30 of the chain 29, by which arrangement one pawl assists in holding another during the period a blank space is beneath a pawl, which space i must be bridged in order to advance the chain correctlv.

The pawl if for the chain 1 3 of the trip- 3 register, like the pawl 88, is always acting to advance the chain one link with each op eration of the main pull 10, and the pawl 4:; is by the cam 36 on the links of the chain 33 held out of engagement with its chain 3% unj til the chain 3 3 has made a revolution and its blank link comes below the pawl 13, and when the blank link of the chain 33 comes below the pawl 13 both pawls 12 and 13 will act and advance the chains 33 and 8t simultaneously one link, and this action will occur with each complete revolution of the chain 33 and in l unison with the advance of the chains of the total-register, as both registers are operated from the same pull formed by the bar "10, the

arms 11 and 12, and the sliding block 18, to

l which block is secured the bar 4C7, which car- 1 ries the several pawls 38, 39, 4:0, 11, t2, and

CS. The bar 17 is divided into recesses 49 for the reception of the several cams by divisionwalls t8, arranged as shown in Fig. 11, and

, the bar for each recess i9 is cut away to leave an inclined face, as shown in Fig. 15, to allow the pawls to drop, and the several pawls are pivotally supported by a wire or pivot, -15, running from the ear or wall at each end of the bar across the bar, and each pawl is thrown down by the action of a spring, 40, one arm of which bears against the face of the pawl and the other against the face of the bar l7 in each recess 19, as shown in Figs. 3, 5, and 10. The pawls being all carried by this j same bar, l7, it follows that each movement of t the bar .47 from the pull-bar 10 will advance 1 movement is one that will allow the pawls to return the distance advanced and fallback of the hinge for the next succeeding link to i be advanced.

Each chain is held against a return after 1 each advance by a catch, 50, (see Figs. 3, 16,

and 17,) formed of a plate having at each side 1 a flange, 5.1, in which is a notch, 52, having a straight face, 5 3. to engage with the projecting end of the pivots ot the chains as they come in line with the notch 52 and each notch on its rear side has a curved face, 51, to allow the pivot end to readily pass t'ronrthe notch with the advance of the chain; but a return of the chain is prevented by the contact of the end of the pin 35 with the straight wall 53. Each advance of the chain will raise the catch 50 by the action of the end of the pin 35 on the curved wall 54, allowing the pin, which has been caught, to pass from beneath the catch, and after the pin has passed from the catch the catch is returned by the action of a spring,

56, coiled around the wire 55, which carries the catches 50, to have one arm bear against the catch and the other against a cross-wire, 57, which wire, as well as the wire 55, runs across the chain-frame 24, in which frame both wires are suitably secured, and, as shown, the under edge of each flange 51 is curved slightly to allow the pivot ends to pass readily on the advance of the chain.

Each chain is stopped after each advance by the action of a stop-finger, 58, and these fingers 58 are secured to a rock-shaft or rod, 59, which has its bearings in the plates 24 of the chain-frame, Fig. 3, and, as shown, the rock-shaft or rod 59, with its fingers 58, is slipped into place by forming a hole, 5, in the plates, with an opening, 25, Fig. 32, to allow the fingers to pass, and when in position the rock-shaft or rod 59 is turned to drop the fingers 58 in position to engage the pins or pivots 35, the fingers 58 working in the cutaway space 27 of the flanges 26. The rockshaft at its outerend has secured thereto an arm, 60, Fig. 34, projecting out from the end of which is a pin, 61, with which pin a cam, 62, on the arm 11 comes in contact on the movement of the arm from the pull-bar 10, causing the pin 61 to ride over the cam 62 and by such action raise the arm 60 and rock the shaft 59 to raise the fingers 58 from engagement with the pin 35, allowing the chain which is being advanc'ed to be released to permit the advance, and on the return of the arm 11 the pin 61 again rides over the cam 62, raising the arm 60 to rock the rod 59 and raise the fingers 58, thus raising the fingers and again dropping them after the pin 61 passes the cam 62 to have their ends engage the pivots 35 and stop any advance of the chains until released by the pin 61 and cam 62 with the outward movement of the arm 11. The pin 61 and the cam 62- are in such relation to each other and the movement of the arm 11 to advance the actuating-pawls of the chains that at the first start of the arm the pin will ride upon the cam, raising the fingers 58, leaving the chains free for the advance, and when the arm 11 returns to its normal position the pin 61 drops, as shown in Fig. 4, for the fingers 58 to lock the chains.

The arm 60 at its end has a cam, 63, which coacts with a cam, 64, on the pull-bar for resetting the trip-register, by which cams the arm 60 will be raised to rock the shaft or rod 59 and raise the fingers 58 to release the trip- .chain for the advance in resetting them. The

cams 63 and 64 are in such relation to each other that at the beginning of the outward pull of the resetting-bar 65 the cam 63 will ride over the cam 64, raising the arm 60 and rocking the shaft 59 to release the fingers 58 from engagement with the trip-chains, leavin'g such chains to be advanced by the resetting-pawls. shape in cross-section, as shown in Figs. 10 and 34, and is located in a shell or tubing, 66, so as to be free to slide back and forth, and this shell or tube 66 has a cutaway portion, 67, to leave a passage for the travel of the cam 64. The lower end of the bar 65 has attached thereto a head, 68, by a screw-stem, 69, and this head 68, when the parts are together, lies outside of the end of the case 1, and, as shown, the stem 69 has a continuation, 70, of a smaller diameter, against which is set the end of a screw, 71, in the bar 65, which screw forms alock against the removal of the stem 69 until the end of the screw 71 is released from its engagement with the stem portion 7 O. The head 68 has pivoted or otherwise secured thereto a handle, 72, by which the bar 65 is moved downward, and, as shown, the upper end of the bar 65 has a hole, in which is located a spring, 73, the inner end of The bar 65 is of a rectangular the spring having a loop or eye, through which is passed a pin, 74, secured in the bar 65, by which the spring is locked to the bar, and the other end of the spring 73 has a loop or eye to enter a slot in a stud, 75, on the end 2 of the case, through which stud and the loop or eye of the spring a pin, 76, is passed, securing the spring to the stud, and this spring 73 acts to return the bar 65 after each downward pull thereof.

The bar 65 has secured thereto in any firm manner a bar, 77, which bar projects into the frame of the chains the distance of the space occupied by the chains of the trip-register, and this bar 77 moves in the opening formed by the cut-out portion of the frame-pieces 24, as does also the bar 47, Fig. 3. The bar 77 is provided with recesses 78, with inclined faces, similar in this respect to the recesses 49 of the bar 47, and these recesses 78 are formed by a wall at each end and a division-wall, 79, and in the recesses are located the pawls 80 and 81, Fig. 6, for the trip-registering chains 33 and 34, for resetting these chains. These pawls are mounted upon the common pivotwire, 82, secured in the end walls of the recesses, and around the wire 82 is coiled a spring, 83, one for each pawl 80 and 81, each spring having an arm to bear against its pawl and an arm to bear against the face of the bar 77 in each recess 78. The pawls 80 and 81. are located and operate on the opposite side of the chains from the pawls 38 to 43, inclusive, which advance the chains, as shown in Fig. 3, and these pawls 80 and 81 act to move the trip-chains in the same direction as do the actuating-pawls 38 to of such chains, so that the chains for the trip will have an advance both in registering and in being reset, by which arrangement the retaininglatches 50 and the stop or looking fingers 58 remain the same whether the chains are advanced for a registration or for resetting, and their operation is the same in both cases.

The pawl 81 engages with the links of the chain 31 until the link of the chain 31 which has the cam 3c comes beneath the end of the pawl 81, allowing the pawl to ride and cease to advance the chain 31, and when the double cam-link of the chain 33 is beneath the pawl the pawl 80 is non-acting, as its end rests upon and rides over the cam 37 of the chain 33 with each advance and return of the pullbar 65, until which time the chain is advanced by the engagement of the pawl 80 with the chain, and the pawls S0 and 81 e011- tinue to advance their chains and 31 until the links of thechains having the cams thereon come beneath the end of the respective pawls to have the pawl ride t-hereover with the advance and return of the pull-bar 65, at which time both chains are in position to' display the cipher at the sight-opening, and when both chains are in this position no advance of either chain can be had from the resettingpawls 80 and 81, because both pawls are held out of action by the cams 37 and 36 of the chains 33 and 34, thus preventing a further 2 slot, 84, Fig. 6, which is in line with the travel 1 of the inclined face 85 of the pull-bar G5, and into this slot Si projects the end of an arm, 86, which arm is a part of or secured to a plate,'S7, which plate has an extension with a turned end, forming a stop, 88. 87 is provided with ears 89 to receive a pivot, 90, secured in ears 91 of a supporting-plate, 92, and adjacent to the plate 87 is a plate, 93,

having an extension with a turned-up end,

forming a stop, 94, which plate also has cars S9 to receive the pivot 96, and each plate 87 and 93 is held down by the action of the arm of a spring, 95, coiled around the pivot 90, each spring having an arm to engage the plate or support 92, and the plate 87 has aside extension or car, 110, coming beneath the plate 93, by which the plate 93 is raised, the plate 87 being raised by the action of the incline 85 on the end of the arm 80. The stop 88, when the plate 87 is down, engages the outer end of an arm or red, 90, extending out from a shaft, 97, around which shaft is a coiled spring, 98, which acts to turn the shaft when the stop 88 is disengaged from the arm 90, and this shaft 98 at each end has a journal by which it is pivotally supported, and the limit of move ment of the arm 96 when released from the stop 88 is held by a stop-pin, 99, projecting This plate 3 from the plate 02. The journals of the shaft 97 enter suitable bearings therefor in the plate 92 and a supporting-bar, 111, and the journal for the bar 111 extends beyond the bar, and its end is square-faced at the sides to receive and hold a canceler, 100, having at its outer end a step, 101, to engage with the stop-pin 102 on the link of the units-chain of the trip-register having the numeral 9 thereon. The link having the numeral 9 thereon of the tens-chain ot' the trip-register has thereon a stop-pin, 103, to engage with the stop end 101 of a canceler, 105, secured to the projecting end. of a shaft, 106, corresponding to the shaft 97, and having coiled around it a spring, 107, and this shaft 106 has an arm, 108, to engage the end 91 when the plate 93 is down, and the limit of movement of the arm 108 when released from the stop end 91 is held by a stop-pin, 109, from the plate orsupport 92. The plate 92 is secured in position by having a portion, 112, bent at right angles and secured by screws or otherwise to a plate, 113, attached in any firm manner to the frameplates 24 at the end, and to the plate 113 is secured the bar 111. The shafts 97 and 100 are secured in place by first placing their-ends in the plate 92 and then slipping the bar 111 over the journals of the shaft and securing the bar to the plate 112.

The canceler 100 coacts with the chain 3 3. and the canceler 105 coacts with the chain 31, and these cancelers are both non acting when, in resetting, the chains .33 and 3t display the ciphers at the sight-opening 5; but. in case the chains are reset only partly, the cancelers cross the respective Cl1?1lllS,Sl10\\11lg that the resetting operation has not been completed. Each canceler is held back when the ciphers of their respective chains are at the sight-opening by the engagement of the stop-pins 102 and 103 with the stops 101 and 101, and when the cancelers are back and the pull-bar 65 is at rest the cancelers are held back by the engagement of the arms and 108 with the stops 88 and 91 of the plates 87 and 93, respectively, and when ti 0 plates 87 and 93 are in position to hold the arms 90' and 108 the end of the arm 80 lies within the recess 8% at the bottom of the incline 85, so that the parts are nonacting.

The downward movement of the pull-bar 65 to commence the resetting of the tripchains causes the incline 85 to act and raise the arm 86, raising the plate 87 and releasino the I stop 88 from the arm 90, which releases the coiled spring and turns the shaft 97 by the action of the coiled spring 98, throwing the canceler across the face of the unitschain, where it will. remain until such chain has been advanced to have the sioppin 102 engage the canceler and move it back until the stop 101 thereof engages with the stoppin 102 to hold the canceler 100 out of use, at which time the cipher of the uniis-chainis at the sight-opening, and it the units-chain L only has been advanced the canceler 105 will "rro be thrown across the chain 34 simultaneously with the throwing across of the cancelcr 100 of the chain 33, as the lifting of the plate 87 by the arm 80 will, through the car 110, raise the plate 03, releasing the stop 0-1 from the arm 10S, allowing the coiled spring 107 to turn the shaft 100 and throw the canceler 105 across the chain 34, and such canceler 105 will remain across the chain 3% until rcmoved by the action of the stop-pin 10:) engaging the canceler and moving it back to be caught and held by the engagement of the stop 101- with the pin 103, at which time the cipher of the chain 31- will be at the sightopening. The return of the cancelers by their stop-pins occurs when the ciphers of the chains and 3a are at the sight-opening, at which time the pawls 80 and 81, which advance the chains 33 and 3%, become non-acting by their ends riding on the cams 37 and 36 of the chains 33 and 31, as already described, and when the cancelers are held back by the stoppins 102 and 103 the rods or arms 106 and 108 are turuedto allow the stops 8S and 04: to drop back of them, when the plates drop by the dropping of vthe arm 80 into the slot 31 at the foot of the incline 85 when the bar 05 is at rest, and if the bar 5 is moved after the chains are reset such movement will not affect the cancelers, as they are held back by their stop-pins 102 and 103, holding the arms 90 and 108, so that the lifting of the arm 80 will simply raise the plates 87 and 03 without any release of the cancelers, the stops S8 and 94 moving without any release of the arms 96 and 108 occurring. The advance of the chains 33 and carries the stop-pins 102 and 103 away from the stop-ends 101. and 104, leaving the cancelers free to be'thrown in when the arms 96 and 108 are released from the stops S8 and 94, as ah'eady described.

A bar, 114, is secured to the sliding bar and extends through a slot, 14, in the side wall of the case 1, and its end is provided with a pivot or pin, 115, on which is mounted a plate,

116, having on its faces indicating-words, as In and Out, Figs. 1 and 2, to show the direction of travel of the car, and this plate, at the ends on one edge, has a groove, 117, (see Fig. 13,) to receive the end of a guide, 11S,projeeting out from the side wall of the case, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, by which the plate is held against turning until withdrawn sufficient for its end to pass the guide 118, when it can be turned to expose the opposite face. This plate 110, with its slot or groove 117, is shown in cross-section in Fig. 13, and the slot 8; of the tube (30, with the incline of the sliding bar 05, for operating the arm 80, is shown in Figs. 1, 6,and 18. The plate 110 can be moved without interfering with the operation of the register as a whole; but this plate,

in connection with its grooves 117 and guide 118, performs theollice of showing the cancelers in case of turning, unless the cancelers are held out of use by their stop-pins 102 and 103.

The main pull 10 is locked against a return or movement in either direction until a fully movement in the direction started by a vibrating arm, 11$),formed, as shown in Fig. 23, with notches or recesses 122 at one end and hooks 121 at the other end, the face of the bar at the end havii'lg the hooks, as shown, being cut away, as shown in Figs. 10 and 23, to permit this end of the arm to pass over the lockingpins 124 in the construction shown. This vibrating arm 11.9 is pivotally attached to the pull-bar 10 by a pin or pivot, 120, and the arm is held against natural drop by friction from a spring, 127, or in any other suitable manner, the spring or friction being just sufficient to hold the arm against turning naturally without interfering with the turning, as required, and so that it cannot be thrown out of position by jarring. This vibrating arm coacts with series of pins, 123, and a series of pins, 121-, on a plate, 125, attached in the construction shown to the end plate, 2, of the case by a screw or otherwise, and in use the pins 123 coact with the notches 122, and the pins 121 coact with the hook 121.. The vibrating arm 110, with the pull-bar 10, when at rest, lies against a stop, 126, as shown in Fig 3 and 20, and is brought to this posit-ion by ts end striking the stop 120 and turning the vibrating arm, as shown in Fig. 20, and when the pull-bar 1.0 is carried to the limit of its outward movement the end of the vibrating arm strikes a stop, which may be the jam-nut u, turning the arm as shown in Fig. 22, and at any point intermediate between these two points the vibrating arm will engage .the pins 123 or the pins 121 and lock the pull-bar 10 against a return to the point from which the start was had. The pull-bar being raised to the limit of its upward pull to advance the register-chains, the vibrating arm will stand as shown in Fig. 22, and on the return of the bar the end of this arm having the notches 122 will strike the first pin 123 and turn the arm, as shown by the dotted lines in Fig. 22, in which position if an attempt is made to draw the pull-bar 10 up one of the hooks 121 will engage with a pin, 1241, and prevent the movement of the bar 10 in an upward direction, and in case the bar is returned a dis iance to have the end of the vibrating arm pass the pin 123 an attempt to pull the bar back will cause the notch 122 to engage the pin 123 and prevent the upward movement of the pull-bar 1.0, and this engagement of the hook 1.21 with a pin 121, or of a notch 122 with a pin 123, will occur with either one or the other at each attempt made to raise the pull-bar at any point on its return until a full return of the bar is had, when the hook end of the vibrating arm strikes the stop 120 and throws the vibrating arm into the position shown in Fig. 20. The pull-bar 10 can- I The shaft 137 has at each end a journal or not be returned after starting on its upward lpin, 139, one of which enters a bracket, llO, movement at any intermediate point in such secured to a sliding bar, 111, in which bar the 70 movement, as the end of the vibrating arm 1 journal or pin 139 for the other end ol the 5 119,havingthenotehes 122 therein,will strike shaft is entered, and this bar 11-1 is held in the first pin 123 and throw the arm into the 1 place by a loop, 112, secured to the inner face position shown by the dotted lines in Fig. 20, of the chamber 120, and by passing through to have the hook 121. engage a pin, 12+, and a slot cut, in the end or side of the chamber, 7 hold the bar 10 against return, and when the as shown. in Figs. 7 and 'lhe sliding bar 10 first pin has been passed an attempt to return 1t], is connected by a pin, H3. Figs. 2 and l, the bar 10 will be stopped either by the en with the pull-bar 11), so that themovemcnt ol' gagement of a hook, 121,with a stop-pin,12-l, the pulhbar will reciprocate the sliding bar or by the turning of the vibrating arm 115th) 141, and with the upward movement of this So the hook 121 and pin 12l to throw the notched bar 111 the roller 134: will engage the face of 15 end of the vibrating arm into position for the cam 1,35, drawinglmck the hammer 132; notch 122 to engage a pin, 123. It will thus and when the limit of upward movement of be seen that the vibrating arm 1121, with its the pull-bar 10 is reached the roller can then notches 122 and hooks 121, in connection with 1 ass fr m the can] 1115, allowing the spring 8 11116 P1118 123 and effect ally S OPS the 'c- 138 to act and strike the hammer 132 against turn of the pull-bar at any intermediate point l the bell 13o, sounding the alarm; but no acuntil the full movement has been had, and at tion of the bell-hammer can be had until the the same time these pins allow a free movei bar 10 reaches the limit of its upward movement of the bar in the direction started, as ment, as the cam 135, through the roller 131, in such travel the vibrating arm stands at holds the hammer 132 against being thrown '5 all 111011116, HS ShOWH by e l linGS in F g forward, and when the blow of the hammer 21, or at an opposite incline on the return of 132 has been struck the spring 138 acts to rethe bar, so that the hooks 121 pass over the turn the hammer to its normal position for pins 12%, and the notches 122 pass by the pins the roller to pass back of the cam 135 and 9 5 123; but an change in the direction of the i perform its work. It will thus be seen that 0 incline will at once insure an engagement of l the sounding of the alarm and the registraa k and pin or a notch and pin, by which tion coact one with the other, so that until the bar is locked against a return in the dithe registration is made the alarm will not be IBOUOH 0 e S sounded, and that unless the registration. is

The construction has the vibrating arm 119 made the alarm cannot be sounded, as with a movable with the pull-bar and the pins stapartial pull the bell-hammer is held by the tionary; but it is evident that the Vibrating cam 135, making the sounding of the alarm arm might be stationary and the pins movimpossible until the cam has been passed. able with the pull-bar, and the lock-pins, in- The cover 3 at. the endhaving the flange m stead of being on a separate piece, could be has secured to its under side ears or blocks 40 secured to the casing direct, and the relation 11%, Fig. 35, supporting a pivot-wire, 145, on bet-ween the lock-pins and the hooks and which, between the blocks lll, are mounted notches is one that will allow the vibrating pawls or catches 146, each of which is thrown arm to pass the pins without engagement down by the action of a spring, 117, having when standing at an incline of forty-five de- 5 an arm to bear against the catch and an arm 5 grees; but when the vibratingarm is changed to bear against. the under face of the cover, from this inclination the hook and pin or the and beneath these pawls or catches 1113 is a notch and pin will be brought into engagelifting-plate, 1-18, carried by an arm, 119, pivment. fotally supported by a pin, 150, on the end The frame for the register-chains on one wall of the case, and this arm 119 extends 50 side has secured thereto blocks 128, to which down to pass the locking-screw 151 in a bar, are attached a bell-chamber, 129, formed as 152, by which screw the seal 153 isheld in its shown in Fig. 3, and also secured to the back opening 151. The catches 116 are located on of the main case 1 in the construction shown. l the cover 3 to be inline with an opening, 155, A bell, 130, is located within the bell-chamber 3 Figs. 30 and St), in the end of the case, through 55 and secured to the chamber by a screw or which opening the spring-catches will pass as pin, 131, and this bell is struck bya hammer, the cover or face-plate 3 is closed and spring 132, one end of which has a pin or pivot, 133, j down to have their ends engage with the inon which is a roller, 134, Figs. 7 and R, as f ner face of the end wall of the opening 155, I shown in Figs. 1 and fl, which roller runs in and, as shown, the cover or face-plate 3 60 contact with a cam, 135, secured to the inner i locked against being raised at this end by pins face of the bell-chamber at a point to have 157 on the flange m, which enter holes 156 in the cam act to drawback thehammer to strike the end plate. 2, as shown in Figs. .7, 23, and 30. the blow as the roller 13lleaves the cam 135. The register is sealed after the mechanism 1 0 The hammer 132 is carried by a stem, 1%, sehas been secured in the case. and before the 5 cured to a shaft, 137, around which is coiled faceplate is applied, by placing a seal, a spring, 138, having an arm engaging with 153, formed of two pieces of glass with a the stem 136, as shown in '7, S, 9, and 10. 1 paper or other seal dub signed between them, in the seal-opening 154 and securing the seal in place by the screw 151, and before the screw is set down the end of the lever or arm 149 is placed behind it, so that when the screw is down it will form a lock against the movement of the arm in a direction to lift the plate 148. The cover or face-plate 3 is then slid into place forits end to pass beneath the flange Z and its pins 157 to enter the holes 156, and when perfectly closed the catches or pawls 146 spring down below the opening 155, through which they pass to engage the inner face of the end plate, and when so engaged the removal of the cover or face-plate is prevented until the catches are lifted, which can only be dsne by breaking the seal 153 and turning back the screw 151 to release the arm or lever 149, so that it can be moved to raise the plate 148 and lift the catches 146 sufficiently for their acting ends to enter and pass through the opening 155. It will thus be seen that after the cover or face-plate is in place access to the interior of the register cannot be had except by breaking the seal, and such breakage will disclose thtzhfact that the register has been tampered w1 If it is desirable that the sight-openin g for the total-register shall be closed against general observation, but capable of being seen by the proper party when desired, then this IS accomplished in the construction shown by locating a plate, 158, having an extension, 159, Fig. 28, of the size to cover the sightopening 4, with a turn or bend between them to form a shoulder, 160. As shown, the side edges of the plate are turned to form flanges 161, Figs. 27 and 31, to fit into an opening or groove, 170, formed in the cover 3, Fig. 28, to receive the plate 158, and extending across the plate 158, and secured at the endto the flanges 161, is a plate or bar, 162, in front of which, and secured to the plate 158, is a bar, 163, having therein notches 164, which stand in different planes in relation one to the other, as shown in Figs. 28 and 31.

Each notch 164 receives a spring-finger, 165, the center ones of which have a recess, 166, on each edge and the outer ones a recess, 166, on the inner edge only in the arrangement shown, and each finger 165 lies within a recess, 167, formed therefor in a bar, 168, on the plate 158, which recesses 167 are of different depths. The fingers 165 extend out from a common plate, 169, secured to the under side of the cover or face-plate 3, as shown in Figs. 27, 28, and 2.), and. these fingers are of a length in relation to the bar 163 that when the cover '15!) is over the sight-opening 4the ends of the spring-fingers will drop back of the lock-bar 163 and prevent any withdrawal of the covering-plate until the ends of the'fingers are raised to pass into the slots 164 therefor in the lock-bar 163, and when the covering-plate 150 is drawn back to uncover the sight-opening 4 the neck of the springfl ngers 165 between the notch'es 166 will spring down into the recess therefor of the slots 164,1ocking the cover open until the spring-fingers are released by being pressed up into the wide portions of the slots 1.64. The spring-fingers are unlocked in either position by the use of keys 176, (shown in Figs.

25 and 26,) one of which (that shown in Fig. 25) is used for moving the sliding plate without locking it in an open position, and the other (that shown in Fig. 26) is used for moving the sliding plate and looking it in an open position, and these keys both work in con-' tions 177, and the other end of each slot is formed on a smaller circle, 173, of a diameter to fit the pins without the shoulder and prevent the pins with a shoulder from passing to the limit of the slot, and the plate 158 in line with the slot 6 and with. the spring-fingers 165 has a series of holes, 174, corresponding in number to the number of the slots and fingers for entering the ends of the pins 175 to operate the fingers. The exposed face of the covering-plate 159, if so desired, can have a strip, 171, Figs. 3 and 29, secured thereto, such strip having thereon such matters as may be desired or being plain, or the covering-plate can be used without such strip.

The key shown in Fig. 25 is used for moving the plate without bringing it to a position to be locked open, as in moving the plate back the shoulders 177 prevent the key from entering the small end of the slot and returning the plate to a point where the ends of the spring-fingers 165 will pass from the slots 164, the fingers resting in their respective slot-s; but with the key shown in Fig. 26 the pins 175, being without shoulders, can enter the small circles at the ends of the slots 6 to carry the plate 158 back for the ends of the spring- -fingers to leave the slots 164 and engage with the lock-bar 163, and when this key is used to move the plate back it must also be used to advance the plate, as the pins 175, with the shoulders 17 7 cannot enter the holes 174 wt. en such holes have been carried back by the key with the smaller pins to lock the sliding cover. The sliding cover when closed is locked closed by the engagement of the notches 166 of the spring-fingers wit-h the lock-bar 163, and the fingers are released by inserting the pins of the unlocking-keys in the holes 174 to lift each finger as required to release it from engagement with the lock-bar 164. This sliding plate for the sight-opening 4, in connection with the spring-fingers shown and described, enables the sight-opening to be closed by the plate, so as to be uncovered by the use IOC act to lock the cover open, so that it cannot be closed except by the use of the proper key, I

so that by the same locking devices the sliding cover can be locked either closed or open, as may be desired.

- The register as a whole is to be secured in any suitable manner to. the car or other place used, and, as shown, a hinge, 178, is provided on one side of the case and a lock, 17!), on the other side, by means of which the register as a whole can be secured in position,'but iscapable of removal whenever desired by releasing the lock 179 and removing the case from the hinge 178.

The operation of the several parts will be understood from the foregoing description, and the operation of the register as a whole is briefly as follows: Each upward movement of the pull-bar moves the registeringchains one link at a time by the actuatingpawls for the chains, and at the end of each trip the trip-chains are reset by the bar 65, and the reset-ting-pawls operated therefrom, as described, such resetting. in no wise aitecting the total-register, and unless the chains of the trip-register are fully reset such fact will be shown by the cancelers either one or both lying across their respective chains, and with the registration of each numeral of the total-register the alarm will be sounded, and no alarm can be sounded in resetting the tripregister, as the resetting devices therefor have no connection with the alarm mechanism.

Each actnating-pawl is termed from a single piece turned at each side to form a flange, which flange is inclined from the heel toward the point in the form shown in Fig. 3, and the heel of each flange is provided with a hole to receive the pivot-wire. The units-chain pawl has its actuating end solid, and the other pawls are slotted to pass the frame-piece and have an arm to rest on the chain on either side of the pawl. This construction of frame is very simple, and at the same time the flanges render the pawl rigid, so that no ben ding of the pawlcan occur with ordinary usage of the register, and also furnish a ready means forpivoting the pawl in position.

The vibrating arm 119 in traveling direct to the limit of the pull 10 does not stand still, but is oscillated as the ends strike the pins 123 and 124, the movement being one that will carry the hook end around its coacting pins, and by this movement the pins are cleared by the ends of the vibrating arm when these 'not making the advance by the resetting pull-bar 65, but doing so by the main pull 10, with the idea of having both chains show ciphers, such attempt will be unsuccessful,

because the units-cancelcr has not been re moved, and its stop-plate 87 is not against the stop-arm 9i), and the plate 87 is holding up the stop-plate 9 3 for this canceler, which canceler is then held by the pin 103, and on the advance from the main pull both chains will move, removing the stoppin 103 and allowing the tens-canceler to cross the chain 34., so that,

although the canceler is removed, the canceler 105'wil1 be across its chain and so, remain until the advance of the chain by the action of the pin 103, and this showing of the canceler 105 will indicate that the resetting operation was not made correctly.
